First af all, I don't really know where to file these bugs, so I apologize if
this is not the best way. Additionally, I don't know if they affect all version
of qtiplot, since I have only stumbled upon them in 0.9.6.2. They are:
1) I had to upgrade sci-libs/gsl from 1.9 to 1.11 and then re-emerge
pygsl-0.9.0 and qtiplot-0.9.6.2 in order to eliminate the pyhton errors
appearing in qtiplot's console upon launching. (I use python 2.5.2-r4).
2) Qtiplot's config files are installed in /urs/local/qtiplot. However, if this
directory is own by root:root and its permissions are drwxr-xr-x, qtiplot can't
create the files qtiplotrc.pyc and qtiUtil.pyc inside it for a regular user at
launch time. I had to manually modify the permissions to drwxrwxrwx for qtiplot
to work correctly.
3) Unless qtiplot is launched from a terminal inside the /usr/local/qtiplot
directory, qtiUtil.py is NOT correctly loaded. You get this error in qtiplot's
console: "Failed to import qtiUtil file!". But, if the command "qtiplot" is
invoked from within /usr/local/qtiplot, then the file is loaded: "qtiUtil file
successfully imported!"
And that's pretty much it. These issues don't prevent a user from a basic usage
of this program. But if you want to create your own python functions and add
them to the 'Set column values' function pop-up menu through qtiUtil.py, for
instance, they are of capital importance.
Thanks for reading this.
Reproducible: Always
